SUMMER INTERNS ARRIVE TO TANZANIA: MEET TIHUT GETABICHA

Tihut at The Sasamani Foundation Office on Thursday, June 27th.

Tihut Getabicha is currently a rising sophomore at Connecticut College. She was born and raised in Ethiopia and attended international high school. Tihut has always been passionate about the empowerment, health, and well-being of women and girls. In fact, while in high school, she completed a project on the normalization of menstruation in the rural regions of Ethiopia. She has personally experienced and focused her studies in the societal barriers that prohibit and limit women to advance in society.

Through lived experiences, Tihut has developed a keen perspective and deep understanding of the significance of women's empowerment and the importance of self-reliance. The Sasamani Foundation hopes that this internship opportunity will allow her to empower others and in turn feel empowered by serving a greater purpose in continuing the fight for women's rights.

Her professional experience includes but is not limited to community action work, campaigns, United Nations, non-profit organizations, sustainability, Institutional Equity and Inclusion, Social Justice/Activism, Seeds of Africa volunteer, etc.

​The Sasamani Foundation welcomes Tihut to Bagamoyo! We are thrilled to have you in Tanzania and working with you this summer.
